Chapter6: Matrices

1.If A = [ ] , then find K such that A2 -8A +KI = o (Ans: K = 7)

2.If A = [ ] and B = [ ] , then show that (A + B)T = AT + BT

3.For what value of x , is A = [ ] a skew symmetric matrix?(Ans: 2)

4.If A = [ ] ,then find A2 – 5A -14I. Hence obtain A3

(Ans: A3 = [ ])

5.If A = [ ] , then find x and y such that A2 –xA + yI = o. Hence evaluate A-1

(Ans: A-1 = [ ])

6.Using elementary transformation find the inverse of the matrix

A =[ ] (Ans: A-1 = [ ])

7.Using matrix method ,solve the following system of equations:

- + = 10, + + = 10, - + =13 (Ans: x = , y = ,z = )

8.Find A-1 , where A = [ ]. Hence solve the following system of linear

equations: 4x +2y +3z =2 , x + y + z =1 , 3x + y -2z = 5.

(Ans:A-1 = [ ], x= , y = , z = -1)

2x – y + 3z = 5 , 3x + 2y – z =7 , 4x + 5y – 5z = 9. (Ans: consistent ,infinitely many

solutions)

10.Given that A = [ ] and B = [ ] , find AB .Using this

result, solve the following system of equations: x – y = 3, 2x + 3y + 4z =17,

y + 2z =7.(Ans : AB = 6I , x = 2 , y = -1 , z = 4 )
